Karina Dress Giveaway For Fall!
You know that I adore Karina dresses.
It is what I call mindless dressing that still looks like you made an effort.
My newest Karina dress is the Carolyn midnight garden. I like the fact that it has short sleeves and I don’t need to worry about any kind of wardrobe malfunctions. There are no buttons to pop or ties to worry about.
I took it with me travelling when I went to visit family and friends in BC where they have some of the nicest gardens in the world. These flowers were at my uncle’s house but my Mom also has an amazing garden.
Those shoes are Fly. Aren’t they sweet? I picked them up at TJ Maxx a while back. The floral brooch is homemade.
Here I am with my personal assistant. She is hard at work as you can see. As long as she is smack dab in the middle of the action doing absolutely nothing she is happy.
What do I like about Karina dresses the most? I can roll them up into a ball, shove them in my suitcase and they come out looking perfect. They are so comfortable and ideal for travelling. I’ve worn this dress about fifteen times since I got it about seven weeks ago just because it looks good and is so darn easy to wear.
I will provide you with one word of warning, my dress is 100% polyester which can get mighty hot when the temperatures climb above 28 C. I found that I started heating up a bit in the upper torso of the dress as it is fitted. I find this is an issue with most fit and flare dresses when it is very hot outside.

Dress To Express Yourself Regardless Of Age
Don’t Dress “Normal”.
Dress to express yourself.
I was reading about how Gap is currently facing massive sales slumps. They blame part of that on the ad campaign “Dress Normal” of two years ago.
People don’t want to be normal. They want to stand out.
Gap is paying for their normal, basic everyday wear with slumping sales figures and empty stores. They are closing stores in an effort to restructure.
The last time I shopped at Gap was at least five years ago. To be clear, I don’t often shop retail preferring to shop thrift or vintage. It is a personal choice to help me stretch my dollar, save the planet and expand my style repertoire.
I also have a preference for wearing items no one else is wearing. Making an effort to ensure that other people aren’t wearing the same item as myself is a personal passion, therefore the whole idea of Gap falls far from my style goals.
When I get dressed I dress to express myself, to show the real me and hopefully, leave a lasting memorable impression.
Whether that impression is, “Oh isn’t she eccentric?” or, “What a weirdo!” or, “I really like your style!” is irrelevant. Creating visual ripples in a pond of calm, safe, subdued style is my way of spicing up my life and those I meet.
Every time I go out in what is just about the furthest thing from normal for example this vintage dress…
I get loads of compliments and smiling faces in return.
People approach me more often and are much more likely to start a conversation with me when I am dressed in a creative manner than when I am dressed to blend in. It is enjoyable and thrilling to wear something that sparks conversation and positivity.
This is my newest totally “abnormal” dress.
It is a wild stretchy, asymmetrical body con dress in a bold pink and black zebra pattern made in the USA.
Totally crazy?
Oh yes!
Totally comfortable?
You bet!
This dress is a versatile transformer, it can be worn midi length, knee length, or mini length. There are overlapping folds which create ruching similar to a bandage dress however I’ve chosen to wear it pulled down and sleek.
The dress is body conscious, but the bold pattern and many folds are so visually overwhelming it confuses the eyes making it impossible to decipher concave from convex which makes my baby Buddha belly very happy.
I never would have bought this dress in a regular retail store. Thrifting is personal style yoga. It stretches your style sense in ways you never knew possible.
This is a great article from Modern Mrs. Darcy about how she made a conscious choice to change her style in order to properly express her personality through her clothing choices.
Do you consider how you dress to be normal or abnormal?
Do your clothes invite conversation? Are you expressing everything you want to communicate effectively via your style choices?
